"Donald Trump has said his administration is planning to produce a list on Friday of Democrat programs that will be closed as a result of the ongoing federal government shutdown, after the Senate failed in its eighth attempt to pass legislation that would end the impasse. He did not specify the programs but indicated to reporters at the White House on Tuesday that the closures would be permanent."
"Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the United States has struck another small boat that he accused of carrying drugs in waters off the coast of Venezuela, killing six people aboard. The US government has revoked the visas of at least 50 politicians and government officials in Mexico amid the Trump administration's crackdown on drug cartels and their suspected political allies, according to two Mexican officials."
The administration plans to publish a list of Democrat programs to be closed on Friday as a result of the ongoing federal government shutdown and has indicated those closures will be permanent. A court filing by the Department of Justice put the number of federal workers laid off at 4,108. The US has experienced 15 shutdowns since 1981, but no president until now has sought large-scale firings tied to a shutdown. The dismissals are expected to disrupt government operations, including disease outbreak investigations. Additional actions include a lethal strike on a small boat off Venezuela, visa revocations for Mexican officials, and pressure on host cities for major sporting events.
